New subject: [xwiki-dev] Two small modifications for XWIKI

8 Feb 2007

Halo,

I am only beginner in xwiki but I have two small modifications which can 
improve usability of xwiki.

1) modification of panel "Create" to allow automaticaly set parent page 
to actual page

There is only:
- hidden input 'docFullName' where is stored actual page full name
- text input 'parent' where can write parent full name but if you focus 
this input there is filled value of hidden input

Modification is adding this lines after input 'title' in Create panel source

<input type="hidden" id="docFullName"
value="$doc.getFullName()"/>
Parent page:
<input id="xwikidocparentinput2" type="text"
name="parent" value="" 
class="panelinput" style="margin:auto;"
onfocus="if(this.value=='') 
this.value=document.getElementById('docFullName').value;"/>

2) modification of panel Navigation

it will be nice to have pages in navigation in hierarchy - first level 
pages without parent and next levels pages with their parents

My modification is not ideal (one hour learning velocity, programing and 
testing) but it works.

There are only 3 levels because more levels are not allowed by wiki 
syntax for lists (therefore I created new panel where is all docs in 
actual space for our instalation of XWiki beta3 - I look forward to next 
releases).

There is full source code:
(code between ## START Second level and ## END Second level
  is new and in first level is modified only $hql definition)

#panelhiddenheader("Navigation")
#set ($hiddenSpaces = ["XWiki", "Admin", "Panels"])
#set ($hiddenPages = ["Main.WebRss", "Main.WebSearch", 
"Main.BlogRss","Main.Test", "Blog.Macros",
"Main.TagsRss", 
"Main.Ouverture", "Main.WikiLaunch",
"Main.RegisterNewUserAction", 
"Main.SpaceIndex", "Blog.Category"])
#set ($blackListedPages = ["WebPreferences"])
<div id="xwikinavcontainer">
#set($spaces = $xwiki.spaces)
#set($i = 0)
#set($spacecount = 0)
<div id="xwikinav">
#foreach($space in $spaces)
#if (!$hiddenSpaces.contains($space))
#if ($doc.web == $space)
#set ($spacecount = $i)
#end
#set($i = $i + 1)
<div id="xwikinav${space}">
<div id="xwikinav${space}Header" 
class="accordionTabTitleBar"><h6>$space</h6></div>
<div id="xwikinav${space}Content"
class="accordionTabContentBox">

## START First level (pages without parents)

#set($hql = $xwiki.searchDocuments("doc.web='$space' and
doc.parent='' 
order by doc.name"))
#foreach($page in $hql)
#if (!$hiddenPages.contains($page))
#set($dotIndex = $page.indexOf(".")+1)
#set($pageName = $page.substring($dotIndex, $page.length()))
#if (!$blackListedPages.contains($pageName))
#if ($doc.fullName == $page)
- *$xwiki.getDocument($page).name*
#else
- [$page]
#end
#end

## START Second level

#set($hql2 = [])
#set($hql2 = $xwiki.searchDocuments("doc.web='$space' and 
doc.parent='$page' order by doc.name"))
#foreach($page2 in $hql2)
#if (!$hiddenPages.contains($page2))
#set($dotIndex = $page2.indexOf(".")+1)
#set($pageName = $page2.substring($dotIndex, $page2.length()))
#if (!$blackListedPages.contains($pageName))
#if ($doc.fullName == $page2)
-- *$xwiki.getDocument($page2).name*
#else
-- *[$page2]*
#end
#end

## START Third level

#set($hql3 = [])
#set($hql3 = $xwiki.searchDocuments("doc.web='$space' and 
doc.parent='$page2' order by doc.name"))
#foreach($page3 in $hql3)
#if (!$hiddenPages.contains($page3))
#set($dotIndex = $page3.indexOf(".")+1)
#set($pageName = $page3.substring($dotIndex, $page3.length()))
#if (!$blackListedPages.contains($pageName))
#if ($doc.fullName == $page3)
--- *$xwiki.getDocument($page3).name*
#else
--- [$page3]
#end
#end
#end
#end

## END Third level

#end
#end

## END Second level

#end
#end

## END First level

</div>
</div>
#end
#end
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">new Rico.Accordion( 'xwikinav', 
{panelHeight:'250',onLoadShowTab:'$spacecount'} );</script>
#panelfooter()

3) next I have one question: Can I deny creating new space to all user 
except admin?

4) another one small question: Is there some plugin to syntax highlight 
source codes? Macro {code} is very poor. I was working on syntax 
highlighting source codes in html on our university (I am staff of this 
university) for our documentation "server" (static pages). I have 
implemented that in Java for JAVA, XML, SQL source codes.

If there isn't such plugin I would like to implement it and give it to 
XWiky community.
